Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-293/85-09

Enclosed is the report of the inspection performed at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power

Station (PNPS) by Messrs. E. Merschoff, E. Trottier, P. Milano, and R. McIntyre,

of the Vendor Program Branch on April 22-26, 1985. The purpose of this

inspection was to review licensee receipt, evaluation, and implementation of

actions determined appropriate for vendor technical information from General

Electric and other selected suppliers. The inspectors reviewed documents and

activities authorized under the provisions of NRC License DPR-35, and discussed

their findings with plant staff members identified in Section 1 of the report.

The findings demonstrate a weakness in the evaluation and implementation of

equipment manufacturers' recommendations concerning deficiencies that may affect

PNPS. Vendor correspondence from vendors other than General Electric is not

systematically addressed. There is one unresolved item concerning cables with

low temperature insulation that terminate inside solenoid valves having high

temperature valve bodies that will be referred to the NRC Region I Office for

followup action and resolution.

In-accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosed

Inspection Report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this matter, we would be pleased to

discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

j' ( .-
